Mika arrives in Poland to pay a hospital visit to her father, who is suffering from severe brain injury and memory loss. It’s the first time they have met in many years, yet her father thinks they still live together and she’s a teenager. For a brief time, Mika becomes her father’s companion in perplexity —gently guiding him through the labyrinth of his fading mind. And as she does so, she sets off on a journey through her own life. By merging digital, 35 mm, VHS and archival footage, the sense of time and space start breaking up: the present blends with the long gone past and places reveal their far-off history and memories.

Presented at the Giornate degli Autori section at Venice Film Festival.
